    Low RPM stumble

    Recently my 360 has been having an issue at low Rpms. It idles fine at 1000, but it occasionally pops and surges when I quickly tap the gas. While cruising it hesitates and surges and it has also popped out the carb a few times up until about 2000rpms. Past that it runs just as strong as it ever...

    Ignition upgrade worth it?

    I've been wondering if it's a good idea to upgrade the ignition on my 73 dart. It'll have a 360 with some good parts in it, solid roller cam, aluminum heads etc. Before I was just running the stock electronic ignition that was in the car, as well as the stock distributor. It was running just...

    Vacuum advance?

    I haven't had my vacuum advance hooked up on my 360 ever since I put it in. I wasn't quite sure if it was needed. I have my timing setup so it runs pretty good. I was told that because my motor has pretty high compression (10.6-11) and a big ish cam that it wasn't reaally needed, that it may...

    Charging system help

    Selecting spark plugs with the correct heat rating

    Currently I've been running NGK spark plugs with a heat rating of 10 (11 being the coldest plug they make) I took a look at the plugs and from the looks of it they are too cold a plug, a bit sooty and black, no oil though. My motor is a 360 with aluminum heads and 10.6:1 compression ratio...

    Spark knock on hot start

    I've been trying to get my dart timed a lot better, I had the timing roughed in and it ran fine, seemed a bit sluggish though. So last night I timed it to about 12 initial and 31-32 total, and it runs lots better. It's a 360 with about 10:6 compression ratio, I'm running 94 octane fuel, it's a...

    How to check for spark

    My car (73 dart) is getting pretty close to starting it for the first time with the new motor, so I want to make sure that it will start right up so I can break in the hydraulic flat tappet cam. All new ignition wiring on the stock electronic ignition. I know by cranking the motor I could...

    Cleaning up new wiring

    On my 73 dart small block I just took out the engine wiring harness and separated it from the forward light harness as that one was still good. I didn't touch the harness for the wipers because is was fine. I have a new engine harness, so that one will be nice and clean. But when I disconnected...

    Engine Wiring Harness replacement help!!

    So I recently ordered an engine wiring harness from evans wiring, he said it comes with everything under the hood but the headlight harness. I though that was fine because I was under the impression that the headlights were a separate harness anyways. But upon taking the old harness out I found...

    New under hood wiring harness

    So after begining to take all the wires and lines off of my old engine to take it out I noticed that the wiring that goes to the coil, temp gauge, alternator and the distributor I think is all mangled up and electrical taped in a big ball. That may have been the reason the car wouldn't start...

    So I recently replaced my signal light switch on my dart, prior to the new switch both brake lights worked, but after installation Only one worked. The bulbs are brand new, all the lights and signals work, the lights just don't work when I press the brake pedal. I thought I messed up the signal...

    Horn issues

    So my 73 dart swinger apparently doesn't have a horn, there are no button on the steering wheel and I can't see any horns on it. Did the car just not come with horns from the factory? The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting the car inspected and insured and am not certain about the horn.
